Rodrigo Ventosilla, 32, a Harvard graduate student and trans activist, was arrested for suspected cannabis possession while on his honeymoon in Bali, then died two days later due to 'failure of bodily functions.'According to authorities in Bali, Ventosilla fell ill two days after his arrest after ingesting medication that was not one of the items confiscated by police. He was rushed to the hospital after complaining of stomach pains, but died soon after on August 11. Ventosilla's family has since accused Bali authorities of 'police violence ... racial discrimination and transphobia,' and trans activists in his home country of Peru staged a protest in Lima over their government's response to the death.
